Creamy Garlic Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Tweet

This Creamy Garlic Shrimp Alfredo Pasta is a new addition that will be in regular rotation in the future. We were searching for a different shrimp preparation and found this recipe by The Recipe Critic and what a find!

I was salivating from the start seeing Shrimp, thawing and awaiting our Sunday dinner. I figured Mike had a plan for some delectable spicy grilled meal, but there wasn’t evidence of spice rubs or marinades. He had something else in mind entirely, the cookbooks and laptop were ablaze. There were inquiries about ingredients on hand and not his usual bag of tricks. The result was delicious.

I enjoy watching people get creative and stretch their interests. Mike is a great cook, usually he specializes in grilling but he’s no slouch in the kitchen. He was really in a zone with this one. He found a couple of recipes that piqued his interest and started in on a creamy garlic alfredo-type sauce for the shrimp. Of course we bumped up the garlic and will likely double it next time but this version was delightful alongside some steamed broccoli with a dusting of parmesan cheese.

This meal takes very little preparation and is so creamy and delicious the entire family will go crazy for it. We served it with steamed broccoli topped with a dusting of parmesan cheese but it's so adaptable, it'll be great with most anything you choose.
